greetings: First thing you should know is how to greet with people as a lot of people can’t
speak English (which is obviously our fault not yours). Czech people are always happy
when they see the effort of trying to speak Czech.

tipping: Although it is customary to tip in the Czech Republic, it has very little to do with
the size of the bill, and more to do with a sign of appreciation. It is common to round
up the bill by a few crowns to make it even.

Away from places regularly visited by foreigners, leaving a "tip" on a table after a
meal at a restaurant is not the usual practice; locals may even object to it.

look-out: There are still a lot of people outside Prague (and a few in Prague) that believe that
"Westerners" are all rich. And due to that fact, they feel they can overcharge you on
certain things, such as services, taxi etc.

Living in Pilsen

Pilsen = the city of beer: Pilsen is the city of beer, this is clear. There are 2 facilities
connected with beer which you can visit:

Brewery Museum in the city center. Museum in the historical building has collected many examples of maltsters', brewers' and innkeepers' trades.

walking around Pilsen: There is no reason to use public transportation in Plzen central part
at all, it is not big one, the way from bus and train station to old town is not so long
and complicated too.

Pilsen old town is just around main square of Republics and St. Bartholomew Cathedral, every main spot is reachable by foot, except Pilsner brewery, that is about 1 kilometer (or less) away from old town.

transport: If you want to use public transport in the first days of your arrival you need to buy
single tickets. Sooner the better is good to manage the Pilsen Ticket with your buddy.
